Dr.Best - Snapshot 2025-04 [**FREE DL IN DESCRIPTION**]

Coming soon on Jazz Room Records. Funky Jazzy Dubby Version of Electro Funk 80's Classic "Riot In Lagos" originally by Ryuchi Sakamoto. 

Riot_In_Lagos_Slowly_Remix

Madre Natura è un inno alla forza primordiale che ha dato origine a tutte le cose.
I testi, ispirati agli antichi filosofi della natura — Eraclito, Empedocle, Anassimene e Ovidio — evocano l’energia degli elementi primi: fuoco, acqua, terra e aria, in un abbraccio cosmico che sostiene e plasma l’universo.

Questi principi arcaici trovano spazio all'interno di un tessuto sonoro pulsante, che intreccia ritmi Latin Jazz, con il clarinetto basso protagonista, affiancato da percussioni latino-americane.
La voce, dolce e intensa, non si limita a recitare o a cantare, ma si lascia attraversare dall'improvvisazione secondo i canoni del New Jazz: fraseggi liberi, respiri lunghi, accenti emotivi.

Madre Natura non è solo un brano: è un rituale sonoro, in equilibrio fra antichità e contemporaneità, materia e spirito, ordine e creazione.

---------

Mother Nature is a hymn to the primordial force that gave birth to all things.
The lyrics, inspired by the ancient natural philosophers — Heraclitus, Empedocles, Anaximenes, and Ovid — evoke the primal energies of fire, water, earth, and air, embracing and shaping the universe.

These ancient principles are woven into a vibrant rhythmic fabric, blending Latin Jazz grooves, with the bass clarinet as the central voice, supported by rich Latin American percussion.
The vocals, smooth and intense, go beyond simple recitation or singing, embracing improvisation in the spirit of New Jazz: free phrasing, long breathing lines, emotional accents.

Mother Nature is not just a song: it is a sonic ritual, balancing ancient and modern worlds, matter and spirit, order and creation.

MADRE NATURA (testo)

Dal fuoco tutte le cose sono generate,  
e nel fuoco tutte ritornano

Quattro radici di tutte le cose:  
il fuoco splendente, l’acqua, la terra vasta, e l’aria infinita

Il mondo, da principio, era tutto confuso:  
né terra né mare né aria splendevano distinte,  
ma il tutto era un’unica materia grezza

Quattro radici di tutte le cose:  
il fuoco splendente, l’acqua, la terra vasta, e l’aria infinita
ma il tutto era un’unica materia grezza

Il fuoco leggero salì verso l’alto e si fece cielo;
l’acqua umida scivolò al di sotto della terra

Come l'anima, che è aria, ci sostiene, 
così il respiro e l'aria
abbracciano l'universo intero

MOTHER NATURE (lyrics)

From fire, all things are born,
and to fire, all things return.

Four roots of all things:
the shining fire, the water, the vast earth, and the infinite air.

In the beginning, the world was utterly confused:
neither earth nor sea nor air shone separately,
but everything was a single raw matter.

The light fire rose upward and became the sky;
the moist water slid beneath the earth.

Just as the soul, which is air, sustains us,
so breath and air
embrace the entire universe.

If ever a record called be called a lost masterpiece then this record more than deserves that epithet. First released on an obscure French label in the 1970's it might have sunk further into obscurity and left no trace of it's passing but somehow a handful of copies turned up in various Jazz shops in London where it was snapped up by DJ Paul Murphy who was then playing to the embryonic jazz dance scene, based at the very first Jazz Room club: The Horseshoe in London's Tottenham Court Road, a decaying, seedy, sticky carpeted old West End ballroom that had seen better days. This and a select few records in a similar vein were being played to an appreciative audience who demanded tough raw percussive rhythms overlaid with some furious jazzy soloing and whenever this record hit the turntable it left even the most demanding groover sated.

It's a really fantastic collection from this barely known reedman and his excellent band which also features a guest appearance by American Legend Horace Parlan who is best known for his Afro-Cuban session "Headin' South" on Blue Note Records.

Superbly produced by drummer Peter Schmidlin, who has conjured up a spiritual modal mixdown of Afro-Cuban & Jazz extended percussive workouts that are uncompromising in their groove and which manage to sound both timeless and modern. The record is being re-released with the original striking artwork, guaranteed to be a talking point.
